If you\u2019ve never lived in a home with one, a terrace or garden can be life-changing. Access to an outdoor space that\u2019s all yours can keep you from feeling cooped up and get you back in touch with nature. If you\u2019re pondering what to do with the terrace of your new rental, you\u2019ll be happy to learn there are so many different ways to make it feel private and cosy, as well as maximize its space if it\u2019s on the smaller side.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Assessing Your Space<\/h3>\n

Gardens and terraces come in all shapes and sizes and, depending on where they\u2019re located, receive different levels of sunlight. These are important factors to consider before filling the space. Installing a veranda from tuinmaximaal<\/a> can provide shelter from the sun while maintaining an open-air feeling.<\/p>\n

Consult with your landlord before making any drastic changes to your terrace, though\u2013\u2013while you\u2019re usually pretty free to dress it up as you please, they won\u2019t want you doing anything that would devalue or damage the property.<\/p>\n

Enhancing Privacy and Ambience<\/h3>\n

Having a nice big private garden is the dream of a lot of renters but if you find yourself in a shared environment, there are plenty of things you can do to create a space that feels like it’s all yours. A patio cover<\/a>, for example, can provide a bit of privacy and protection from the elements. It can also make the space feel cosy. Add some string lights and a decorative screen and you can enjoy the great outdoors just as you would your living room.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Low-Maintenance Greenery and Gardening Tips<\/h3>\n

Shrubs and small trees can also add to the ambience and supply even more privacy. Surrounding yourself with greenery is one of the best parts about renting a home with a terrace or garden, so take advantage of the opportunity. Choose low-maintenance plants that require little watering but stand up to harsh elements.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a foodie, you can also use your terrace to grow your own herbs and vegetables. Basil, mint, and parsley are all easy to get started and they\u2019ll transform your dishes when used fresh. Tomatoes are also a staple of home gardens because you don\u2019t need a green thumb to help them thrive. Individual plants or even small gardens don\u2019t require much space so even on your small terrace, you can dabble with homesteading to provide for yourself.<\/p>\n

Small changes or big\u2013\u2013there are plenty of ways to transform your newfound terrace to expand your rental\u2019s usable space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
